Rush Fest Coaching Pairing
To afford all the players at the event the best experience possible we ask that the head coaches (or assigned coaches) of each team assist another team within the event.
RUSH FEST 2021 - Coach Pairings will be announced prior to the event!
Why do we do this?
Rush aims to give all players the best experience possible. Assistant coaches can add knowledge, enthusiasm and a unique opportunity for players to experience working with a coach from a different Rush club.
Pairing coaches will allow for the development of relationships, sharing of knowledge and ideas between coaches. As well as the opportunity for head coaches to development staff management skills, assigning staff to specific roles and responsibilities.
It is an expectation that all staff actively engage in games, whether acting as the head or assistant coach. Assistant coaches are also expected to lead the team training session that will be held during Fest. This allows the players to hear a different coaching voice, maybe a different style and allow some coaching education for the team coach also.
Coaching Pairing Protocol:
Once the Fest registration is finalized a coach assignments chart will be posted below.
We ask that each coach contacts the coach listed as your partner to introduce yourself and give any relevant information about your team you feel necessary. On the first night of the coaches meeting (immediately following the Opening Ceremony) we will have a chance to get together and meet before the morning games.
